This week’s #OurProject52 is all about blue. It’s probably really weird of me, but the very first thing I think of when I hear the word blue is the song “Shpadoinkle Day” from Cannibal: the Musical. The sky is blue and all the leaves are green. The sun’s as warm as a baked potato. I Read More …

I’m super excited that my first quilting finish of 2015 came on the 1st of the year. But even more than that, I’m thrilled that the quilt will be for my nephew Rayden. My step-brother Jeremy and his wife Cassie are due to have a little boy in February, and this quilt is for him. Read More …

Dear Jane, I fell in love with your quilt the first time I saw it… of course, I would never make one. I haven’t the patience to make 225 of those 4.5 inch squares. But I do love your quilt. Of course, I’ve always loved “scrappy” quilts made with remnants of past projects. That’s probably Read More …

This week’s Fashion Friday outfit is an amazing dress from Hot Topic, paired with Gianni Bini pumps and an Alice in Wonderland Disney Couture necklace. What I love most about this dress is that it is actually two dresses layered. The bottom layer of the dress is white hexagonal polka dots on black while the Read More …
